Winning is awesome and losing sucks but in the grand scheme it's unimportant.

Florida State won a title a few years ago and it was oh so sweet but I still had to go to work the next day. Life didn't get way better. And it won't be way worse tomorrow. Carolina just has our number.

Hope everyone has a blessed Christmas. God bless you and your families.

I used to be so upset after a loss, I started coaching my kids football team this yr and we actually went 11-0. After every game I realized those wins mean nothing in life, yeah it looks good and all but what matters is, you still have to get up the next day and go to work. Even after tonight nothing changes lol we lost o well, a fan can't control anything the team does. Merry Christmas to u guys

Sorry for your loss

Exactly, at the end of the day this is just a hobby. As soon as the game ended I thought "well this is mildly depressing. At least The new Star Wars movie is just a year away now. And there's a good chance well get a new trailer in March."

I've long moved past the days where I'd be livid or bothered for days on end after a Redskins loss. It's been years! You get older and, hopefully, more mature and other things in life is more part of your focus (kids, wife/girlfriend, job, other activities, etc.). Then, this stuff called sports isn't a huge deal when your team loses. Unfortunately, there are still older folks who'll get seriously bent out of shape when their team loses. Once, you reach a certain age, then this stuff shouldn't create emotional shifts. Those type of people, IMO, have some type of shortcoming(s) in their life and vicariously live through sports for some type of gratification.

I was irked throughout the game. I thought about it for a minute or two, once it was over, then moved on. I love to see the Redskins win, and would love to get back to the days of Gibbs I. I hate losing. But, these loses doesn't sting as bad, as in years past due to where I'm currently at in my life. I can say, I'm glad those days are in the past.
